Not sure if this would be of any help, but I have a Mobility Radeon HD 5730. When I first open my KDE desktop (4.4.2 on Lucid), it 'thinks' that compositing is on, but it really isn't. I can then turn off compositing, then turn it back on...and it works fine after that. There's a widget to put a compositing on/off button on your desktop I just use that when I login - a bit of a nuisance.

Other than that (and slight video tearing), I've had no problems with 10.6. Moving/resizing windows even happens fast now.

Same here, I have tried kde a couple of times recently. I have a 4870 and I've tried kubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Compositing works out of the box with the oss driver but as soon as I install fglrx it wont activate no matter what. And I did do sudo aticonfig --initial. When I install fglrx in ubuntu 10.04 64 bit compiz activates with no issue.

I tried that but it just says it cant be activated.

I still need to try it with cat 10.6, but I ahd this issue with cat 10.4 and 10.5.

I noticed in your xorg.conf you have 3 device sections 1 for the vesa driver, 1 for nvidia and 1 for fglrx... any reason in particular you need vesa ? Also are you trying to run both an Ati and a nvidia card in the same rig ?

Like pete910 above I'm on Mandriva, 2010.1 Rc3 64 bit to be precise,
and I've had no issue enabling kwin on kde 4.4.3 with the cat 10.4-10.6 drivers.
